The world, like a great iris of an even more gigantic eye, which has also just opened and stretched out to encompass everything, stared back at him.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I've grown up on a diet of metaphors. If young writers would find those writers who can give them metaphors by the bushel and the peck, then they'll become better writers - to learn how to capsualize things and present them in metaphorical form.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven if you still know everything you're still seventeen.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no charge left. You can't father children that way.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury

I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
Ray Bradbury

Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
Image
But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority

Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.

Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .

Science-fiction balances you on the cliff. Fantasy shoves you off.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Chock them so ... full of facts they feel stuffed, but absolutely brilliant with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they're going.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Dad, said Will, his voice very faint. Are you a good person? To you and your mother, yes, I try. But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime, Will. I know everything worth knowing about myself- And, adding it all up...? The sum? As they come and go, and I mostly sit very still and tight, yes, I'm all right.
